Biosocial Synchrony on Sumba: Multispecies Relationships and
Environmental Variations in Indonesia examines biosocial change in
the Austronesian community of the Kodi by examining multispecies
interactions between select biota and abiota. Cynthia T. Fowler
describes how the Kodi people coordinate their mundane and ritual
practices with polychaetes and celestial bodies, and how this
synchrony encourages and is encouraged by social and ecological
variations. Fowler grounds her anthropogenic environmental research
with information from geospatial science, marine ecology,
astronomy, physics, and astrophysics.

DDDDDDDDDDDD Effective management logically follows accurate
diagnosis. Such logic often is difficult to apply in practice.
Absolute diagnostic accuracy may not be possible, particularly in
the field of primary care, when management has to be on analysis of
symptoms and on knowledge of the individual patient and family.
This series follows that on Problems in Practice which was con
cerned more with diagnosis in the widest sense and this series
deals more definitively with general care and specific treatment of
symp toms and diseases. Good management must include knowledge of
the nature, course and outcome of the conditions, as well as
prominent clinical features and assessment and investigations, but
the emphasis is on what to do best for the patient. Family medical
practitioners have particular difficulties and advantages in their
work. Because they often work in professional isolation in the
community and deal with relatively small numbers of near-normal
patients their experience with the more serious and more rare
conditions is restricted. They find it difficult to remain
up-to-date with medical advances and even more difficult to decide
on the suitability and application of new and relatively untried
methods compared with those that are 'old' and well proven. IX
Their advantages are that because of long-term continuous care for
their patients they have come to know them and their families well
and are able to become familiar with the more common and less
serious diseases of their communities.

Fire is a daunting human ecological challenge and a major subject
in science and policy debates about global trends in land
conversion, climate change, and human health. Persistent
environmental orthodoxies reduce complex burning traditions to
overly simplistic representations of environmental destruction,
degradation, and loss while reinforcing existing social inequities
involving smallholders. Fire Otherwise: Ethnobiology of Burning for
a Changing World advocates for a more inclusive and pluralistic
fire ecology, a shift from the paradigmatic globalized version of
fire science and management towards research and management that
embraces anthropogenic fire regimes and broader understandings of
the ways humans interact with fire. The authors present new
evaluations of human interactions with fires in contexts of
changing environmental conditions. Through deep description and
analysis of knowledge and practices enacted by local communities
who ignite, manage, and extinguish fires, this collection of case
studies supports proactive local and regional efforts to adapt
amidst continually changing social and ecological circumstances.
